    • Trivia
      To help make the sale of a coral snake, Hansel Eidelpfeiffer shows Hermie Jenkins a copy of Reptiles and Amphibians: A Guide to Familiar American Species. The book, by Herbert S. Zim and Hobart M. Smith with full-color illustrations by James Gordon Irving, was an early entry in the long-running series of Golden Nature Guides, published by Golden Press, under the general editorship of Zim.
    • Goofs
      While Hermie is talking to Myra, the magazine ad in his shirt pocket goes from being very visible to slightly visible to not there at all.
